Shall We Go Now (1/1), Supakalanistic (13/2), Smuggler's Blues (8/1), Malachite (9/1), Lisdoonvarna Lad (20/1), Hurlstone Point (20/1), Skidoosh (22/1), Mystical Clouds (25/1), Stockburn (28/1), Daydream Aulmes (33/1), Diamond Reggie (33/1), Maratt (33/1), Coromandel (33/1), Peur De Rien (50/1), Just Another Vodka (50/1), Sammylou (100/1)

MYSTICAL CLOUDS represents leading connections here and this half-brother to a couple of useful jumpers can make a winning debut today. The selections trainer Alan King has an 18% strike-rate (41/230) strike-rate in bumpers in recent seasons and the debutant can see off Malachite who is another representing a leading stable on debut today. The filly Hurlstone Point receives weight all round today and can fill third place on this occasion.
